So you think baseline and everybody will say they are higher tier than they actually are, right?

So a lot of people will say that the SEAL teams are tier two.

They're not.

It's a tier three.

A lot of it's based off your parent unit and your response times to catastrophic things.

Yep.

Or sometimes you're on a 30-minute recall.

That's where you live for months throughout the year.

30-minute recall, that page goes off, that text goes off, you're on an airplane in 30 minutes, you've got to go.

Oh, yeah.

Anxiety just boosts me.

Yeah.

But I mean, like, you know, really it isn't much.

And I was just talking about this not too long ago.

You get more funding, but really what they do is for the tier one organizations, they cover all the logistics.

They put you inside of Disneyland, all the ranges, all the assets, all the intelligence folks, the human performance, the best gyms, everything you could imagine is inside of a compound.

They stick you inside it and they try to lock you inside it.

Just come here and only focus on the craft because as soon as we tell you to go, you're going to have to go at 100%.

go get ready to go the other ones it's a very similar workup routine it'll be a year two years long sometimes and you'll forward deploy do operations for x amount of months three six nine twelve whatever the unit deployment cycle is you come back rinse and repeat in tier one organizations it's just a constant revolution over and over and over again it's amazing how long were you doing that
